A TRIP OOT WITH THE LADS 😁

[Bam]

It was scranned in seconds, Gizmo very generously gifted me a bit of Lorne and a snorker which gave me enough energy to walk out but I was feeling the malnutrition coming on again.... Macky D to the rescue.

 

[Bam]

Home, now for the dreamy job of emptying the rucksack.

[Ark79]

Just getting settled, al post up a few pics and a wee write up soon

 

[Ark79]

Well am all Nice an settled with the feet up in front of the telly

It was a cracking place to camp also excellent company, spot on to @MildredsSmurf for selecting the area . We kicked the trip of with me meeting up with @G1ZmO so I could follow him to the spot, we then met up with @Bam and @MildredsSmurf, seemed a little animosity between them two, I believe someone forgot the breakfast (I won’t go into that ) I then nicked @Forest wanders parking space but he was a gent about it and proceeded to the next car park... I was glad to see at this point I wasn’t the only one to pack light ...... of we went to the trees to get set up. Some beautiful scenery.

After what seemed like a training mission from the SAS we arrived at a cracking spot

We all got set up and @Bam and @MildredsSmurf collected fire wood, we chopped it up and sat round the fire putting the world to rights, as you do.... now the saying goes, time flies by when you have fun.....but in our case, it seemed to stand still . We had some grub and a few drinks and talked the night away.

Thanks to @Bam @MildredsSmurf @Forest wanders and the dug @G1ZmO for a cracking time and some good laughs and memories


Till the next time

Nice write up and pictures Mark

Its good the "Band of Brothers" got the chance to meet up and put names to faces and enjoy the time shared together
At least YOU could all understand the chat around the fire

How were the kit trials mate....all good??

 

[G1ZmO]

Back home and pretty knackered I must admit.
We had a great night and I had a comfortable and warm sleep in my Snugpak Expansion 4 bag although my hammock wasn't quite level and I kept sliding down the bottom.
Here are a few pics. There will be a video too once I've edited it and this includes some scary scenes of tree surgery at height with a saw. (Mark)
It was good to meet everyone and put faces to nicknames.

 

[Brambling]

Wow! you found a cracking spot. Really chuffed you all had a fine time, it is great to meet up and get to know each other.

 

[Madriverrob]

Good to see you chaps getting out together

Now that you have broken the ice it could become a regular thing !

 

[Peatburner]

Great write up and pics, thanks for sharing .

 

[Ark79]

Thanks for the comments people A had a little snooze on the couch, to be awakened with a Sunday dinner

 

[G1ZmO]

I crashed out also for a few hours. Got to do something about the pack weight for the winter even if it means changing to ground dwelling which would save a few kgs

That's the plan mate, be good to make it happen.

Can't really add to what's already been said, a great wee trip away and hope to do it again. Just with fecking breakfast next time (thanks to Gizmo for a bit of 'sausage sans frontieres').

 

[G1ZmO]

I was packing up when I realised I'd not used the eggs that I'd carefully carried in. They made it home again without breaking. Nice wee trip for them.

 

[Bam]

Do you have a plastic egg box thingy mate ??? They're handy if you're the kind of chap who enjoys a breakfast in the woods. Or so I'm led to believe....
